This century-old aristocrat of Melbourne hotels combines Victorian-era character with modern comforts. Plush rooms have Laura Ashley-style wall coverings and rosewood furnishings, although the marble bathrooms are modest in size. Standard rooms are also small; if you need space, book one of the vast Victorian suites, or a two-room executive suite. The 111 Spring Street Restaurant serves Continental-style dishes in a formal setting. The hotel commands a position opposite the State Houses of Parliament close to theaters, parks, and fine shops.
